Typhoid Originating With Manure.

In some interesting Investigations
made by DR.. j. +. Allen, on the genesis
of typhoid fever in the Cape Colony,
he attributes some cases that came
under his observation in Natal to the
presence Of cattle manure, used there
as fuel. In his close examination of
this subj ct, be was further led to be-
lieve that the excretions of some
calves affected with a specific entritis,
the LESSONS of which, on post>mortem
inspection, corresponded with those
of typhoid fever in the human subject,
constituted the infected material. DR..
Lawrence, also, who has made this
subject speciality, states, as the re-
suit of his observations after some
thirty years spent in South Africa
among widely scattered population,
that typhoid fever would be very
rare disease in the colony, were it not
introduced to the human subject
anew from horned cattle, by means
of their excretions affecting the air,
water and milk. Much has been &C.
complished for preventing the spread
of typhoid from one subject to anoth-
er, by disinfecting the excretions of
the patients suffering from this disease,
and by improved sanitary arrange
ments, but unless the bovine origin OF
the disease, if true, be proved and sui :
ficiently recognized, the danger will
not be sufficiently met.

Origin of the Texas.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean

The term texas" applied to the
hurricane deck of steamboat, had
it's origin on the Mississippi in 1916.
When boats were first built the pi-
lot house was plat ed on the hurricane
deck. Finally, IN the aforementioned
year, the pilot house was placed up
higher, and underne ath it was made q
room or two with about six or eight
bert hs in it.
When tough passenger came on

pay his cabin ire, the clerk, not wish
Ing to put him among the cabin pas

ca bin, and sometimes it would be
filed with some of the W. r st roughs in
he country. Finally, the officers of
the boat, owing to the toughness of
til room, christened it Texas, after
the state .f Texas, which at that time
was noted for It's wild cowboys, rob-

THE SECRET DRAWER.
BY CHARLES MACKAY.

In idle mood I touched the springs
That opened wide the secret drawer,
To gaze on hal forgotten things
That walked thu memories of yore;
Small scraps OF letters loosely tied
With silken bands of faded blue,
Containing words of love and pride,
Wrung from my heart when life was new.
A lock of radiant, golden hair.
That once adorned glorious head
Ola young angel heavenly fair
Now long since numbered with the dead
A dark brown tress-tne sole remains
Ola brave woman lost and gone,
The partner of my joys and pains,
Whose smile made sunlight where 1t shone.
/ sighed, l kissed them like fool
Although, perhaps, the fool was wise
With wi dom learned in sorrows school
Who saw the truth through all disguise,
And taking counsel with my thought
L asked myself, mid haze of tears,
Why these fond relics, fancy fraught,
Should live beyond my span of years.
Live, with their tale of thought, or deed,
For merchandise in scandals mart,
To satisfy the clamorOus greed
Of scrlbbers who'd dissect my heart,
When lay slumbering in the mold,
Unwilling of Fame's noisy blast
And sell for miserable gold
The sacred secrets of the Past?
To build romances from my life,
Or weave the lies that seem like truth,
From shadows OF long ended strife
And unknown agonies of youth
Take them, We flames such fate Is best
All but the lock of hair crave
To wear upon my living breast,
And perish with me in the grave.

Turkish Justice.
From the Lavant Herald.

rom the LaVanL Herald.
Near that JOWD (kodosro) g. drover
taking cattle to market lost two of
his bullocks on the road. When he
reached Rodosto he at once informed
the municipal authorities of the fact,
who disp 4tched three gendarmes in
search OF the missing beasts, which it
was thought might either have straye
or have been stolen. On the high road
they met two mouhadjirs driving be-
fore them two stout oxen that had g.
suspicious resen. biance to those of
which they were in search. Putting
literally, two and two togetber-the
couple Of men and the couple of bull
locks-the gendarmes challenged the
mouhadjirs to halt and give up their
booty. But these had no intention of
parting with their companions. They
hurried on, believing the gendarmes to
be brigands in search of dinner.
Finding their authority ignored, the
gendarmes fired upon the fugitives,
killing one of them. The other
mouhadiir took to his heels and es-
capee, leaving the cattle there, Of
which the gendarmes at once
took possession. Having hastily
buried their victim, the courageous
individuals came back to RodOsto,
bringing their bullocks with them.
When these latter, however, were
shown to the drover, he denied that
they were those which he had lost, be-
ing quite of another color and anoth-
er breed In the face of such q dec
laration as this, it was evident that
the gendarmes had erred on the side
of professional zeal. Instead of find
ing the lost bullocks they had killed q
man. A scheme to save their dignity
had thus to be devised, and according
iy some one was prompted to swear
that the cattle they had captured be-
longed to him, and had been stolen
from his farm but q little while before.
By this lie be thus became unlawfully
